Originally written as an introduction to a critical edition of
Beethoven's piano concertos, this informative performance guide is the
work of an accomplished pianist, composer, and conductor. Franz Kullak
presents more than 100 annotated and analyzed musical examples along
with biographical information about the composer and general rules for
the performance of the concertos. In addition, a separate essay offers
pointers on the proper execution of the trill.
Suitable for intermediate- and advanced-level pianists, this volume is
newly edited and supplemented with additional examples by celebrated
concert pianist and composer Anton Kuerti, who provides an informative
Introduction with musical examples.
